The current league is no longer the world of the center in the 90s.

In other words, now, the traditional big center has become less and less popular in the league.

After O'Neal, there is only one traditional center named Yao Ming, although Howard has been known as the first center for a long time, but every time he meets Yao Ming, Howard is cleaned up.

Moreover, Qin Yan also knows that after the rise of Curry Thompson and others, as soon as the three-point shot tactics are opened, the small-ball tactics will sweep the whole league, and the traditional center will have no status.

Especially the heavy center, who was basically reduced to coolies later, even had to practice three-point shooting!

There is no way, if they don't practice, they will have nothing to eat, and they can only be reduced to blue-collar workers or eliminated.

And later, Gasol Jr. to some extent, it should be said that he suppressed Howard to become the best center (not to mention that Jordan Jr. is the first center after Howard, that is really too shabby.) And Whiteside, on the other hand, has also developed well in his original history, at least as a very good athletic center.

Now, these two center forwards, who will shine more brightly in the future, are on the bar in advance.

Gasol Jr.'s mid-range shot just now was scored on Whiteside's head, and of course Whiteside had to return an Anser Ball.

Parker broke through, Whiteside came up to do a pick-and-roll, and Parker rushed directly into the interior by blocking and pick-and-roll!

And Whiteside also turned around at the same time the moment Parker burst in, and killed along the other road!

Because Parker's breakthrough was very sharp, when Whiteside went up to block the demolition, Gasol Jr. had to raise his position a little in order to put pressure on Parker, so that he could put a little pressure on Parker and prevent him from breaking through so smoothly.

But he obviously didn't expect Whiteside to go down so quickly after blocking it!

Moreover, the direction he went down also blocked Conley by the way, so that Conley could not come back to prevent Parker in the first place.

This means that Gasol Jr. can only stick to Parker first, otherwise Parker rushes over and goes straight to the basket.

But how could Parker possibly let Gasol Jr. stick to him, and before the two made physical contact, Parker used his right hand to push the ball high into the air!

The ball was pushed very high, and although Gasol Jr. had a height advantage, he couldn't jump and could only watch the ball fly over his head.

"Boom!"

There was the sound of the basket being bombed behind him, and little Gasol was not stupid, and he knew with a little use of his brain that it must have been Whiteside flying into the air and completing the air relay.

After all, it's too unlikely to expect Conley to keep Whiteside at bay.

Looking back, sure enough, Whiteside was jumping off the basket with a look of relief, and beside him, Conley looked helpless.

There's really no way, even if Conley can jump again, he can't stop such a big height gap!

Whiteside defends back, and this type of offense is the easiest for Whiteside, or rather, his favorite way to attack.

After all, there are many types of center forwards, and Gasol Jr. and Whiteside are just two of them.

Gasol Jr. is the heir to the traditional heavy center, this kind of center has height and weight, and solid skills under the basket, if you want to give an example, the "gorilla" Ewing among the four centers is a very standard heavy center! Although he has no championship for life, Ewing's dominance and intimidation under the basket are absolutely top-notch!

Whiteside is the heir of the run-and-jump or athletic center, which is also divided into two types, one is a sports basket finisher with both offensive and defensive offensive ability, and the other is an athletic defensive master who has poor independent offensive ability but focuses on defense.

The classic representative of the first type is Robinson, the "admiral" of the four centers, with well-defined muscles and the technology that can control the ball and advance at high speed, which is the weapon that Robinson brought out in the era of growing up.

The latter representative is the familiar "Uncle Mu" of Chinese fans, who has been defending professionally for a hundred years, and is the only one who does not have to worry about being blown a technical foul by shaking his fingers.

These two people have a relationship with Whiteside, needless to say, Uncle Mu has just taught Whiteside for a whole summer this year, and he is a master in the true sense.

And Robinson is the meritorious veteran of the Spurs, the big man among the big guys, and it was brought out by Popovich, and now Popovich has a lot of ways to practice Whiteside with reference to the practice of Robinson back then.

Therefore, this guy Whiteside was really lucky, he was discovered by Qin Yan in advance, not only was it not abolished, but he was also better cultivated.

But his problem is that his independent offensive ability is still not good enough, although it is much better than rebounding brothers like Jordan Jr., but compared with Gasol Jr., who has solid offensive skills, Whiteside really has no advantage at all.

So, this Anser Ball, Whiteside also needs Parker's help.

But it's nothing, the down after the block, this is an effective means for the center to score.

Gasol Jr. attacks again, this guy is still healthy, it's really not covered, after receiving the ball, it's a tough back hit! Shove Whiteside from the perimeter of the paint to the basket!

Then, this guy didn't say a word, he just turned around and wanted to dunk on the spot!

If this is deducted by Gasol Jr., then where is Whiteside's face?

And, to this extent, it's no wonder that Whiteside can't let it go.

As a personal disciple of Mutombo, you can't do anything else, but you can't say no!

"Drink!"

Whiteside shouted, and then the whole person took a small step back and quickly rushed to the sky, with a little forward feeling when he jumped, and instantly his big hand pressed on the basketball in the hand of little Gasol!

"Smack!"

The strength of the two is not too different, the advantage in weight cannot be exerted in the air, coupled with the inertia of Whiteside rushing forward this time, it is strange that Gasol Jr. is not shot away.

But it didn't matter, because although this attack didn't work, but the next offense, Gasol Jr. once again used the card position to top Whiteside and made a direct layup in the air.

The two big centers staged a very exciting center battle in the third quarter, and each had its own wins and losses, and it was difficult to distinguish between high and low.

Since the Yao Shark War, it has been rare to see this kind of evenly matched center duel in the league.

Therefore, the two of them had a lively fight, and the audience was very happy to watch, it was Qin Yan, who also gave up the stage to the two of them for a while.

The league needs a center, this is a real legacy, and although the two of them are still far from their respective templates, at least, they give a glimpse of the hope of a center.

The center is not dead, but it is gradually withering, and the trajectory of fate has been changed, can these two people recreate the prosperity of the center in the future?
